USING DISK ALERT

About Disk Alert

The RAID manager application includes a disk alert feature that provides a graphical
indication of the status of the hard disks in the system.
When the RAID manager application detects a failure condition of an attached drive, a
pop-up box appears in the clock area of the Windows system tray. Click the pop-up box to
view the manufacturer-provided bitmap image of the system motherboard. The image
shows the hard drive connector ports and provides a visual indication of the location and
status of the drives as follows:
•Red rectangle: A red rectangle will flash around the port connector that is attached to
the failed drive.
•Green rectangle: Ports that have a drive attached, and are in a healthy state, are
indicated with a green rectangle around the port connector.
•Yellow rectangle: Ports that have a drive attached, are members of a failed RAID array,
but are not the cause of the failure have a yellow rectangle around the port connector.
Unconnected ports have no visual indication.
